   I'm starting to suspect that steady state cardio gets a bad reputation because the critics get scared of how hard this hits. As for me, I've been feeling a whole lot better and tougher since taking up jogging again.
   
   Seriously, Gilmore is right - there's no trick, there's no easy way, you just go out and do it. As a result, my Karate has improved, my knees feel stronger, everything is just *better.*

     @SuperLutheran Is this the guy who proposed the 1 mile run 1 minute walk marathon thing?

     @SuperLutheran hello Super i am glad you seem to be doing well

     i recall a 4chan greentext from a martial arts fella describing what he called "road work" meaning the effects that years of 2+ hours of running on asphalt did for his fighting game...

     reportedly, when he started doing martial arts the other practitioners couldn't believe his stamina... and just how hard his shins were from nothing more than such running...

     he said these so-called black belts and other fighters lacked endurance... stamina... hardness of body... and that he was disappointed that he was able to keep up if not defeat these guys for simple lack of physical conditioning. i never forgot that. you make it sound like "road work" really works, eh?

     @SuperLutheran Interesting. Jeff Galloway is the run-walk guy I read about previously. What piqued my interest was a runner saying he finished a half marathon slightly faster than his normal time and he wasn't gassed.

     @BowsacNoodle Nope, he actually disagrees with mixing walking and jogging. Different strategies for different goals

     @SuperLutheran I think there's room for both approaches based on your needs. Run walk interval helps me go from sedentary to 5k pretty quickly. Then it's a matter of upping run duration and trimming walk. I can't just stick with it once I'm easily doing 5k+ runs because it feels like it's not hard enough.
